Somewhat unexpectedly, it would appear that we are making headway on the ability to receive telemetry for at least part, if not all, of Zephyrus 1's journey.
Andy has located transmitter and receiver circuit diagrams which use a chip to encode and decode serial data. This will allow us to connect a GPS device and send its data wirelessly to a computer. We are now pricing components and checking weight constraints.
The next step is to build prototype devices - which will involve butchering one of Phil's GPS devices.
